Delon & Dalcan come up with a kicking, mouth-watering 12" herald: "Tanz! Dance, baby!" Solo, with or without, animal or flowing, extrovert or completely withdrawn. Modern or nostalgic, Rhythmic or off-beat. Eyes shut or absorbed in artificial dust. Twitching, arms rotating, hair-tossing or nagging at the beer bottle. Drenched in sweat or flirting and intriguing. Bare-footed or wiggling the bum. Shining or knotty. Don't care as long as you move your ass along with the music. And Oxia and Kolombo help Delon & Dalcan to keep you moving.

This is the debut full-length release by French artists Delon & Dalcan (Greg Delon, André Dalcan) -- DJs, sound artists, organizers and mainstays of the Nîmes house scene. Tanz expresses the unusual symbiosis between these two men: the sound is full of warmth and full of grooves, in spite of its apparently technoid features. Who knows whether it is the mild climate or the region's wonderful red wine, but surely Greg and André's passion and unconditional love of music, the 1980s, and current club tunes have contributed to the wholesome melding of genres on this record. Each track has an inherent flair and develops an individual homage to disco, techno, house, electro, pop or rave... everything has an influence on how they think, what they do, what they produce and vice versa. Addictive minimal stompers perch next to delicately-mixed classic French house to form a perfectly working sound/ecosystem where everything is in its right place. It is music not only for the small-scale habitat, but also for new biotopes with similar structures, for other clubs and other countries. Also, one of Kompakt's best-selling acts Oxia comes on board, fitting perfectly into this synthetic entity created for a simple yet omni-liberating purpose: Tanz (Dance!).

"Dear Friends of Boxer Sport! Our emotions are hopping mad. After almost a year, Andre Dalcan & his buddy Greg Delon, aka Delon & Dalcan, the driving forces behind Scandium, are back on Boxer Sport with fresh stuff for your turntables. And you'd better eat what is served otherwise the weather will be bad and we cannot get away with this in view of the climatic disaster. Everyone must contribute his or her fair share. As usual, Delon & Dalcan's message and focus is both on straightness and absolute functionality. And this is and will remain their strength! The remix comes from Martin Eyerer: a slick, rocking track that will make Odin swing his mace deep down in the hell of bass. But remember: you can't have any dessert until you have finished your main course!"

With Gui Boratto remix! "The French Boxer boys Greg Delon & Andre Dalcan are the ones to grace the 64th release of Oliver Huntemann's cult outfit Confused Recordings. According to the label's philosophy this is a very special tune. Truly atmospheric synth pads, ultra classic drumming and morphing bass modulations create a dangerous & melancholic club weapon! And just when everybody put away their ray-guns, Brazilian boy wonder and Kompakt honcho Gui Boratto strikes back with his remix version of the track. Hypnotic 2006 techno at its best. Strong!"

"The Delon & Dalcan project is the meeting of two French artists, two friends: DJ Greg Delon and André Dalcan aka Ultracolor. They are now part of the international musical scene, producing for famous labels such as Dirty Dancing, Great Stuff Recordings, Boxer, Propperproud. From House music to techno via electro, their live act and mixes are as exciting as their productions. With a great selection of artists and labels of the moment as: Boxer Sport, Great Stuff, Traum, Systematic, Get Physica." Artists: Duoteque, Teka, Lindstrom, Digitalism, Zdar, Marc Romboy, Nathan Fake, Oliver Koletzki, Chelonis R. Jones, Eisbar, Eyerer & Chopstick, Trentemoller, The Egg, Vernis, Markus Lange, Maximilian Skiba.

"Finally, now in the early days of 2006, 'The Boys are back in town' again and come up with remarkable sounds: straight and functional, pushy and full of synths. Simply: perfect! Now, they regularly meet with Tiefschwarz & Black Strobe at the Business Class check-in, off for the next Ibiza rave, chatting away on music productions. 'Sorry, may I have another tomato juice on ice, please?' That's the way life goes, now, that they have become part of it. And we think, they really do deserve it!"

"After six months of cease-fire, the tech-electro mafia is back. In the meantime, they have rocked every single rave around Montpellier, Nîmes or Marseille. Their names might not sound that familiar to German ears, but Andre Dalcan, the man behind Scandium, and his buddy Greg are omnipresent in France and famous for their great tunes. Their numerous DJ gigs are the motor of their productions. Preferences for certain sounds are adapted and processed, and technical procedures up-dated. Whoever knows Delon & Dalcan's other records, will not be amazed that Tiefschwarz & Black Strobe again have spun off for this third release. But one thing really is striking: the merciless straightness. 'Panik' gets out the smart rubber mallet, 'Friend' however, is more minimal and laid-back, and both tracks prove that Delon & Delcan have come to the point and got the principle of cause and effect within all the cables and blanks. Well, big words for two extremely nice guys, and I will put these on the assay-balance at the jewellers later myself. The third track of the album, however, is perfect for lovers of Blackstrobe sounds. But now again in brief: Delon & Dalcan present us three straight French tracks with full synth power that can be matched with the crème-de-la-crème of the techno studios in France."

"This is round two at Nîmes' Tempodrome with Delon and Dalcan again boxing full of pressure towards the bright side of the dance-floor. With their new record 'The law of Silence', the two guys from France not only come up with three dry and hefty, really rocking deep hits, but they also prove that -- thanks to the unbelievably straight synth sequencer funk spiced here and there with their characteristic, nice little shuffle breaks -- they will very soon compete in the same weight division as Tiefschwarz and Blackstrobe."
